Description

I use a global variable vars/atm.groovy, which has an internal method pipeline(Closure body) (It was created because the Declarative Pipeline overwritten my old variable vars/pipeline.groovy).

I was running my scripts without problems until now with:

atm.pipeline { ... }

but after updating the plugins, the following error started to occur:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 3: Expected a block with the "pipeline" step @ line 3, column 1.
atm.pipeline { ^ 1 error at org.codehaus.groovy.control.ErrorCollector.failIfErrors(ErrorCollector.java:310) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.applyToPrimaryClassNodes(CompilationUnit.java:1073) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.doPhaseOperation(CompilationUnit.java:591) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.processPhaseOperations(CompilationUnit.java:569) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.compile(CompilationUnit.java:546) at groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader.doParseClass(GroovyClassLoader.java:298) at groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader.parseClass(GroovyClassLoader.java:268) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parseClass(GroovyShell.java:688) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parse(GroovyShell.java:700) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsGroovyShell.doParse(CpsGroovyShell.java:129) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsGroovyShell.reparse(CpsGroovyShell.java:123) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsFlowExecution.parseScript(CpsFlowExecution.java:516) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsFlowExecution.start(CpsFlowExecution.java:479) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun.run(WorkflowRun.java:252) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:405)

I solved the problem with the following workaround:

def gambiarra = atm.pipeline {...}

and the script returned to work correctly. Ie, there is some problem during the verification if a pipeline is declarative or scripted.
